Am I Eligible to File a Claim?

Our attorneys need a chance to discuss the specifics of your accident to determine if you may have a claim against another party, often another driver.

Generally, our attorneys must prove an accident resulted from another’s negligence. There are four parts of negligence and each one must be proven for victims to have a chance of recovering compensation:

Duty of Care Was Owed to You

This means the at-fault party had a legal obligation to take reasonable steps to keep you from suffering an injury. It is reasonable to expect other drivers to obey the rules of the road and avoid dangerous behaviors like speeding.

Duty of Care Was Breached

Many motorcycle accidents are caused by reckless drivers who fail to obey the rules of the road, such as right-of-way laws. Violating these or other traffic laws could be an example of breaching the duty of care.

Causal Link Between Breached Duty and Injuries

Your attorney needs to provide evidence of how your injuries would have been avoided if the duty of care was upheld. In other words, a direct link between your injuries and the breached duty must be established. For example, a rider likely would not have been thrown off his or her bike without being rear-ended by a car at a stoplight.

Damages Suffered

Accident victims must prove they suffered damages as a result of the accident. This could include things like medical bills for treatment of injuries, lost wages, and pain and suffering.

You can review your accident with a licensed Prescott motorcycle accident attorney in a free consultation. We are prepared to pursue full compensation if you have a case and hire us to represent you.

We are here to answer your legal questions. 602-222-2222

What if I Was Not Wearing a Helmet?

You can still seek compensation for damages if you were not wearing a helmet at the time of the accident. You may still be eligible if you were under the age of 18 ”“ Arizona law requires minors to wear motorcycle helmets.

This is a complex issue you should discuss with a qualified lawyer. The Prescott motorcycle accident lawyers at Phillips Law Group have detailed knowledge of Arizona motorcycle laws and how they may affect injury claims.

What is a Motorcycle Accident Claim Worth?

Generally, the value of a claim is based on the damages suffered and how long they may affect the victim. This is an issue our attorneys are prepared to evaluate carefully to determine what your claim may be worth.

Damages that often result from motorcycle accident injuries include:

• Medical costs ”“ Treating a motorcycle accident injury can quickly become very expensive. Injuries from these accidents are often severe and long-lasting. Victims may need surgery, physical therapy, ongoing rehabilitation, prescription medications, follow-up doctors’ visits, imaging tests and other medical interventions.
• Lost wages for missing work ”“ Treatment often results in victims missing work. This includes time away because victims are physically unable to work, and times they must leave work to meet with doctors for further treatment. Fortunately, our attorneys may be able to pursue compensation for wages lost as a result of your injury. We understand how important this type of compensation can be for families struggling to pay bills after a significant injury.
• Pain and suffering ”“ The physical pain from a serious injury can be intense and last quite a long time. The pain can make everyday life very difficult to manage. The psychological damage from the injury can be just as bad, if not worse. Victims may experience depression, post-traumatic stress, sleep disturbances and other issues.

The damages vary based on the specifics of the claim. Call our Prescott motorcycle accident attorneys to discuss the damages you suffered and how they are affecting your life.

Insurance Coverage That May Be Available

Motorcycle accident cases are often resolved by filing an insurance claim with the at-fault driver’s insurance company. Arizona uses a fault-based system for assigning financial responsibility for an accident victim’s damages. That means the at-fault driver is responsible for the victim’s damages.

Arizona requires all drivers, including motorcyclists, to purchase a minimum amount of insurance coverage:

• $15,000 in bodily injury coverage for each crash victim
• $30,000 total bodily injury coverage per accident
• $10,000 in property damage coverage

These pay for damages from an accident caused by the policyholder. However, it is important to note many drivers purchase more than the minimum required coverage.

When we take a case, our lawyers review the available insurance coverage. We are prepared to pursue the full value of victims’ damages, up to the limits of the policy. We are also prepared to file a lawsuit in case the insurance company refuses to offer fair compensation.

What if the Other Driver Does Not Have Enough Coverage?

Unfortunately, sometimes at-fault drivers do not have enough insurance coverage to pay for the victim’s damages. There are also cases where at-fault drivers do not have any insurance at all.

Fortunately, in these situations, our Prescott motorcycle accident attorneys may be able to pursue compensation through your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Motorcycle riders are required by law to purchase $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident in this type of coverage.

This is a complex issue that should be discussed with a licensed attorney. There are specific requirements that must be met before filing this type of insurance claim.

Call today for a free consultation to ask your legal questions. Phillips Law Group: 602-222-2222

How Much Time Do I Have to File a Claim?

The short answer to this question is two years from the date of the accident, as stated in Arizona’s personal injury statute of limitations. If you miss this two-year deadline, you may lose your chance to file a claim.

While this is the standard deadline, there may be exceptions in certain situations. Victims who were under the age of 18 at the time of the accident have until two years from their 18th birthday to file a case. There is also something called the discovery rule, which says the two-year clock does not start to run until the date the victim discovers he or she has an injury.

Our Prescott motorcycle accident attorneys are prepared to discuss this issue with you in a free consultation. The clock could already be running on your potential claim, so contact us as soon as possible.

What if I Was Injured as a Motorcycle Passenger?

Passengers may not want to file a claim because they do not want to sue the driver, who may be a friend or family member. However, if you pursue compensation you would be filing a claim with the rider’s insurance company, not them personally.

The rider’s insurance policy should provide coverage for your damage, up to the limits of the rider’s coverage.

We welcome the chance to discuss this situation with you. Free consultation.

Common Reasons for Motorcycle Crashes

One of the most common reasons for motorcycle accidents is driver negligence. There are numerous examples of ways drivers operate their vehicles with reckless disregard for others on the roadway.

Examples of recklessness could include:

Drivers are not used to looking for motorcycles, but this is no excuse for a collision with a motorcyclist who was obeying the rules of the road. If another driver was careless, he or she may be financially liable for the motorcyclist’s damages.

I felt they were more my friends than my personal injury lawyer and that isn't something you're taught it's something you have inside. If I ever needed a lawyer again Phillips Law Group Injury Lawyers would be my only choice. I can't recommend them enough. They are professional on every level and compassionate throughout. Thank you for everything.

When in pain because of an accident all you want to do is focus on getting better and that is what did thanks to this firm. My family and I were set up with a Dr and Chiro right away. The treatment we received was great. I am extremely thankful for all the help we received and the outcome on the cases. Thanks to everyone involved on my case. A special thanks the intake specialist Rosalba who was very kind on the phone when I first called. I highly recommend this firm to anyone, they treat you like family.

Erika A.

I am so thankful for Ruthann and Maria. They both were amazing throughout the process. When Maria took over my case, I felt like I was being treated with empathy about my pain and experiences while treating. She also made sure to answer my questions. Maria always responded to my communication attempts and answered questions I had as they came up. She helped me with things I needed in regards to my case and helped ease the anxiety as bills piled up and my injuries were still being treated. I was able to contact her as I was treating and she helped find providers closer to my home to make it more accommodating for me. This helped me juggle work...

What can I say about Phillips Law group. I was involved in a major car accident and sustained injuries. I looked up for Law Firms in Arizona and stumbled across Phillips Law Group. I decided to give them a call about my accident, and they were very respectful and took in my case immediately. They assigned me Tim LeDuc to represent me. From the beginning, he was very responsive and made sure to give me the proper care I deserved from this accident. Him and his team fought tooth and nail to give me the best settlement I deserved. I am so thankful, and I highly recommend Phillips Law Group to represent anyone who has been in any accident and...

My case closed yesterday and I RAN to make this review because of how exceptional my experience has been with Phillips Law Group! I received the best settlement I could've hoped for and am extremely happy with the outcome; but I especially wanted to shout out and give praise to Julianna, the Litigation Paralegal on my case. From the moment Julianna was assigned to my case almost two years ago, until the completion of the settlement process yesterday, Julianna's commitment to exceptional customer service, clear communication, and unwavering support truly stood out. I had so many questions -- from the legal process, to where to seek medical treatment, to questions about medical bills, to the negotiation process, and more --...

Ever since my accident in the first of the year, it was a life changing event for me and I finally decided to go with a personal injury attorney. I contacted Phillips And Associates and they made me feel like I was an actual person instead of a lot of other firms try to go with me like a number, Phillips And Associates has reached out to me in a kind, courteous and caring way they fully understand on the circumstances of the accident So far, Phillips And Associates has been absolutely wonderful. I truly recommend going with Phillips And Associates. Thanks (RuthAnn), your the Best!!! And Thank you...

She kept us informed on the progress of our case every step of the way and was very prompt with either calling or emailing us back with any questions that we had.

Squaw Peak Realty

I never thought it could happen to me, I had heard about it on the news, but truly never thought it could happen to me. I was rear ended by a drunk driver. I was lost on what to do. My car insurance company would give no directions, I and my grandson were injured, my little pick- up was smashed, I was not the one who was at fault, but I felt like I was because I could get no help on what to do! You would think that your car insurance company would at least point you in the right direction. So, I contacted Phillips Law Group, I truly never ever thought I would need the help they provided...

After my accident I was paralyzed with stress on how am I gonna recover from this what do I do, but they literally took majority if not all the worry away. I really only went to my appointments and kept them updated as much I can and eventually helped me win my case. It was a quick process as well for receiving compensation very grateful. Thank you!

I want to say for this being my first accident and unclear on what to do. They were amazing, from communication and making sure you have everything you need. The other insurance was giving me a hard time with my rental, I called my attorney at Philips Law Group and they made sure I had a vehicle to get around. They made sure I got the best care with amazing staff. They handle my case with care and at the end they still make sure I am okay. I appreciate you guys for not taking advantage of me and putting me first. It was not about the money but making sure I had everything I need and what was owed...

I feel that I was truly blessed to find the Phillips Law Group after being involved in a bad car accident. My attorney and the staff were professional and very supportive. The firm provided compassion and sound legal advice while we navigated my insurance claim. I highly recommend giving them a call if you are involved in an accident with bodily injuries. The firm set me up with healthcare providers and really went the extra mile to help me with my case. I’m happy with my settlement and for all of their help.

Tea J.

Aaron my attorney and Jasmine my paralegal were great. Throughout the settlement process, Jasmine did a great job of keeping me in the loop of everything going on. It is a long process but being reassured during the process was helpful. Throughout the process I was provided a chiropractor and physical therapist and they all made sure that I was taken care of and feeling better before releasing me. I was also provided a trauma therapist. Though I still think about the accident and struggle here and there, my therapist did a great job of giving me the help i needed in the months following the accident. I hope to never go through this again but if need be, I...

Amazing Law Firm after getting the run around from the Insurance companies, I decided to call Phillips Law Group and initially spoke with Randy he was so helpful and kind, he truly cared about my situation and was explaining to me everything about what typically happens after an Accident....It just so happened to be exactly what I was dealing with. I felt at ease during our conversation like a weight had been lifted and at that point, I knew I made the right decision contacting them, and shortly there after I retained their services. I was contacted by my Attorney and Case manager within and hour and they assured me all my needs would be met - helping me with...

Having never been in automobile wreck before, I found myself in uncharted territory. Thankfully I ended up choicing Phillips Law Group. They took charge of my case! I want to especially acknowledge McKenna, my case manager. Without her listening -- to my good days as well some bad days due to injuries -- I would have been lost. If you ever need a Law firm, think about talking to Phillips Law Group. You won't be sorry.

Matt S.

I had a fantastic experience during a difficult time. In particular, my paralegal Brittany was extremely helpful and answered all of my questions in a timely manner and made the process very smooth. I would definitely recommend.
